  1. That’s an impressive turnout for the first event at the Sydney Olympic Stadium! The atmosphere must have been electric with that many fans in attendance. It’s interesting to see how stadiums evolve after major events like the Olympics—reducing capacity can often improve the overall fan experience, making it feel more intimate. Do you remember which teams played in that match?
